Hello,

I just purchased an AMD framework 13 and while I wait (im)patiently for it to arrive, I was wondering what Linux distros people here are using.

I’ve only ever use Ubuntu on desktop, but I think I’m ready to move away from it now, which I guess leaves fedora and mint as officially supported distros.

What have you tried? What are your experiences?

    Have you tried pop on the framework? Have you had any compatibility issues?

      Currently running Pop on my Framework with the Cosmic DE. Pop was rock solid before. Alpha software brings in bugs of course, but it is still surprisingly stable.

        Just checked out cosmic. It looks fantastic! What kinds of bugs have you experienced?

          A couple of weird things with displays every now and then, and I haven’t taken the steps to get the fingerprint scanner to work. I also can’t use the Proton VPN app, I have to install each VPN manually.

      I do not have a Framework but it is my understanding that they are designed for maximum flexibility and compatibility. I doubt that you will have any issues.
